Home Is Here

Hello?

Are you still there God?

I need you now more than ever,

Ever before,

I know and thought about what I did

And for this,

I am truly,

Truly sorry.

I will and do pray for the families

Of my unfortunate victims.

Help not only their families,

But mine as well.

Help them remember me as I was,

Not as I am now.

Today I am to die,

Be killed, be broken,

Be torn, be taken.

From all that I've lived for.

Help me to be like you,

In that I die with you.

I deserve nothing less but this,

But why me,

Why now?

Why do they have the authority to do this to me?

Is this not your job?

How do they do this and have no remorse?

Have they no feelings?

Have they no fear?

Do they feel pain?

Are you still here?

I stand here asking of you,

What you have given to so many others before me,

I ask that you forgive me,

For all that I have done

All that I've said.

I realize now that I have done wrong,

And for that I am sorry

Sorry that I have not asked for forgiveness before.

And I am ashamed for that…

I don't want to do this,

But I have no choice,

I did what I did,

And now there is no choice

For me.

This choice,

Has been taken from me,

Been slipped out from under…

Been taken.

I am savoring,

Savoring all.

My last of everything.

You know if I were to go free,

None would recognize me,

As I would walk

They would just think of me

As just someone on the sidewalk

That they passed by,

Just some other person that just exists.

It would be like I was

Barely There!

But you see that is not possible,

For I am not as free as the wind

I am like water in a glass jar

Striving to get out

To be with the rest,

The normal, the ordinary.

Here they come,

I need you now,

But I am strong,

I am soon to be free.

To be released from this place,

To be undone,

To be erased

From existence.

To oblivion.

Take me home,

Home to you,

To white gates

Up, up high,

Away from this place.

I can't stand it anymore,

I am done with this world!

Finished,

I can't stand being locked up

And see the sun just outside

Just far enough away,

Away from my grasp.

Everything is on the other side,

My family and friends

I promised them nothing more,

Than to stay with them always,

But I cannot uphold that

For today the promise is undone,

The bond broken.

Here I am,

Taking my last,

Breath, steps;

Here it comes.

Help me God!

Help me to find you

Help me to remember you,

And help others to learn from my mistakes

Keep them safe.

I will miss this world,

Don't get me wrong

But who wants to spend eternity locked up?

Not me.

I will miss it,

I will.

And as my life is laid before my eyes,

I remember the fun I had,

Things good and bad,

I don't want to leave

I want a longer life

But that choice is no longer before me.

I broke that choice

When you laid it before me,

I went with the easy way

And did the wrong thing

And for that I am sorry

Truly Sorry…

And as I shed,

My one last tear.

I have found,

That I am home,

And Home is here
